Redick M. Wylie, Bloomington, Ind. to Andrew Wylie, Jr.

Bloomington, July 5th 1867, Dear Brother, We are about to make some arrangement for putting up some kind of tomb stones to mark the spot of poor Jane's grave. We want to know whether you have any suggestions to make as to the kind of a monument or tomb stone which should be erected. We also want your opinion as to the kind of inscription which should be placed thereon. We wish the opinion of each member of the family and especially your's, you being the eldest one of the family. Some time ago you wrote that Uncle McKee and Aunt Eliza were in this country, and that they intended to come out west on a visit this summer. Had intended to write Uncle at the time and urge him to make us a visit, but have neglected it so long that I do not now know where they now are nor where to direct my letter. If they are at Washington or if not, and should you write them, give them my love, and tell them that all their friends and relatives here would be very glad to have them make
